Sure enough, the next day, newspapers and magazines reported that Ning Shuqian's birthday party encountered an empty nest. Also reported was the news that Ning Shuqian made a fool of herself at Director Sun's banquet.
Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen were immediately humiliated.
However, these things did not affect her life at all. She still went to the Mo family every day to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting with her grandfather, and returned to the Wen family at night to study the three-year junior high school curriculum. Her grandfather found a tutor for her. If she had any questions, she could directly log in to the chat software to ask. In this way, her learning progress was much faster.
It would be better if Old Madam Wen didn't make a few sarcastic remarks to her every time she saw her!
In the evening, she and Xu Chenyu made an appointment to meet at Jiuchongtian.
When Wen Xinya arrived, Xu Chenyu, Zhou Tianyu, Han Mofeng, Ling Qingxuan, Gu Junlin and others were already there. Seeing Wen Xinya, Han Mofeng was the first to tease her, "I say, should those who are late have to drink a penalty drink?"
Xu Chenyu quickly kicked him and said, "We agreed to meet at 6 o'clock, but it's only 5:56 now. How can you be considered late? Do you have any sense of time?"
Ling Qingxuan quickly poured a glass of red wine and pushed it in front of Wen Xinya: "Let a large group of us wait for her alone, this is not considered late, what is late? Fine wine, fine wine..."
Gu Junlin looked at Ling Qingxuan shouting loudly and followed suit: "Drink a penalty drink, drink a penalty drink..."
Zhou Tianyu immediately kicked him hard and said angrily: "Why are you joining in the fun? It's only natural for boys to wait for girls. Why make them drink wine as a punishment?"
Gu Junlin begged for mercy quickly, "Drink a penalty drink... Can't you just punish me with my own drink?" As he said that, he picked up the wine poured by Ling Qingxuan and drank it down with his head tilted back.
Wen Xinya couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I'm a little late!"
Zhou Tianyu was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Junlin and quickly called Wen Xinya: "Xinya, come and sit down!"
Wen Xinya sat down beside her with a smile.
Zhou Tianyu looked at her complainingly, "I wonder why you are so busy all day long. You always refuse to come out for dinner. We haven't gotten together since we met at Director Sun's banquet last time. We were preparing for the introduction dinner before, but what are you doing now?"
Gu Junlin has always been Zhou Tianyu's lackey, and he also followed suit and joked, "Yes, let us all accommodate your time. I say, Miss Wen, you have become more stylish since you introduced the dinner!"
Wen Xinya was embarrassed by Gu Junlin's words, and Xu Chenyu quickly chimed in: "Damn, Gu Junlin, you are Xiaoyu's lackey."
This sentence made everyone burst into laughter. Gu Junlin was not to be outdone and said, "You are also Xinya's lackey. It's ok that you always talk about Xinya. We are just joking, but you have to join in."
Everyone laughed again.
Wen Xinya then said, "I have been studying the three-year junior high school curriculum recently. I fell behind a little because of the introductory dinner course. I plan to catch up as soon as possible. After all, school is about to start, and I don't want to fall too far behind others."
Although she had worked hard on the three years of junior high school courses in her previous life, she had a bad temper at that time and could not concentrate on her studies, so she only did an average job. She knew that for the young ladies from famous families, as long as the grades were not so bad as to cause laughter, such grades were not a big deal, so she did not study seriously.
She originally thought that because of the three years of junior high school in her previous life, learning would be much easier for her. However, she realized that in the past ten years, she had already forgotten everything she had learned to her teachers, and it was still difficult for her to study.
But fortunately, she had an extremely strong memory in this life, and with the help of a tutor found by her grandfather, she was able to integrate the forgotten learning memories with the help of the tutor.
Zhou Tianyu expressed her understanding. She knew a lot about what happened before she returned to the Wen family. "Which high school do you plan to go to?"
The four key high schools in Beijing are all very famous, and many people are very distressed when choosing a school.
Wen Xinya shook her head and said in distress: "I don't know yet. The four major high schools all have their own strengths. It's hard to choose!"
In her previous life, she chose Jinghua High School, the same school as Ning Yuya and Xia Ruya. In this life, she doesn’t want to go to Jinghua High School again.
Zhou Tianyu pulled her arm and said happily: "Why don't you come to Lanfeng College? This way we can be in the same school. I'm a sophomore and I can take care of you then."
Wen Xinya thought about it. Lanfeng College has always been ranked first among the four major key schools. In this life, she must learn knowledge well and accumulate more strength for herself: "Then let's go to Lanfeng!"
Zhou Tianyu put her arm around Wen Xinya's shoulders and said with a hearty smile: "I'll protect you from now on!"
Everyone laughed again.
Zhou Tianyu seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Wen Xinya seriously. "There was a charity auction in Beijing a few days ago. I went with my father and met your father and Ning Shuqian there. I saw someone mentioned you, and your father's face was very ugly. Then Ning Shuqian cried to a group of ladies in her circle who were not presentable and complained about her stepmother's difficulties. I saw that everyone seemed to believe it and seemed to have sympathy for Ning Shuqian. I think they want to use your powerful return to throw dirty water on you. You'd better be careful."
Zhou Tianyu had never seen anyone like Ning Shuqian who was good at taking advantage of any opportunity. She was just like a fly that would bite any cracked egg it saw. He originally thought that Ning Yuya would be kicked out of the Wen family and sent abroad, and Ning Shuqian and the others would move out of the old house, and Xinya's life would be better in the future. Who would have thought that she would do this.
Gu Junlin said, "I've also heard some bad rumors about you in the circle recently. Everyone thinks that as soon as you returned to the Wen family, you drove away your stepsister and forced your father and stepmother to move out of the old house. They think you act too overbearing and tyrannical."
Unexpectedly, Ning Shuqian failed to succeed at the birthday party, but she used Wen Haowen's attitude towards her to discredit her reputation. Her eyes were contemptuous: "Let her sing a one-man show! I just got a high position in the circle, there is no need to care about these things. People's true colors will be revealed over time. Everyone knows that she is a high-ranking mistress and indirectly killed my mother. If I treat her well, that would be a problem. With her reputation, what kind of storm can she stir up?"
"You're right, but your dad..." Zhou Tianyu was still a little worried.
Wen Xinya's smile was deep and unfathomable. She would not allow Wen Haowen to discredit her. Although Ning Shuqian could not stir up any trouble, Wen Haowen's attitude had a profound impact on her: "Since Ning Shuqian likes to play the role of a difficult stepmother, let's help her and let her play it well and make it known to everyone, and play it with deep hatred and deep suffering."
